NBA MOCK DRAFT: Here's what the experts are predicting for all 30 first-round picks

Several versatile big men highlight the top of the class, while a few explosive guards and do-it-all wings make up some of the middle pack.

Experts around the NBA think this year's draft is even more unpredictable than past years, with several teams open to trading up or down, and an uncertainty over who are the best prospects.

To get a feel for how the draft might play out, we surveyed seven experts' mock drafts and found the consensus pick for each position. When there wasn't a consensus, we went with one experts' opinion on who might be drafted.

1. Phoenix Suns — Deandre Ayton, C

School: Arizona

Age: 19

Experts: 9 of 9

Other possibilities: none

Expert quote: From Givony: "The Suns appear to be locked into Ayton with the top spot ... Physically, he's one of the most gifted prospects we've seen in the draft in the past few years, and he has an impressive skill level to boot."

2. Sacramento Kings — Marvin Bagley III, F/C

School: Duke

Age: 19

Experts: 7 of 9

Other possibilities: Luka Doncic, G/F (Real Madrid/Slovenia)

Expert quote: From Wasserman: "It's easy to understand how a front office sees more upside in Marvin Bagley III, who's far more athletic and just averaged 21.0 points and 11.1 rebounds at Duke. Bagley would fill a major need for the Kings, since their frontcourt features Willie Cauley-Stein and Skal Labissiere."

3. Atlanta Hawks — Luka Doncic, G/F

School: none — Real Madrid, Slovenua

Age: 19

Experts: 7 of 9

Other possibilities: Marvin Bagley

Expert quote: From Woo: "Doncic would be able to start for the Hawks immediately, and gives them another lead ball-handling option as Atlanta has soured on Dennis Schröder. He'd be a strong fit if the Hawks decide to go for it, and seems highly unlikely to fall out of the top three."

4/

4. Memphis Grizzlies — Jaren Jackson Jr., F/C

Expert quote: From Wasserman: "The potential best player available, Jackson could also start his career playing the 4 like he did at Michigan State. He's quick enough to guard the perimeter, while his ability to shoot threes bodes well for his chances of working offensively next to Marc Gasol."

5/

5. Dallas Mavericks — Mohamed Bamba, F/C

Expert quote: From Vecenie: "He's a defensive game-changer with his 7-10 wingspan and a standing reach that is matched in the NBA only by Rudy Gobert. His offensive skill set is also burgeoning, as he altered the mechanics of his jump shot during predraft workouts."

7. Chicago Bulls — Michael Porter Jr., F

Expert quote: From Wasserman: "Assuming they clear him, the Bulls could see Porter as a steal at No. 7. Before the season and surgery, many scouts had considered him the No. 1 overall favorite. As a 6'10 ¾" combo forward, Porter is a mismatch for his combination of size and perimeter skills in terms of shot-making off the catch or the dribble."

8/

8. Cleveland Cavaliers (via Brooklyn Nets) — Trae Young, PG

Expert quote: From USA Today: "One of the most polarizing prospects in the draft, it's fun to project his jitterbug finishes and rainbow 3-pointers at the next level as he benefits from more spacing. It's also vital to ask how his size could handicap a team defensively."

Expert quote: From Givony: "There's a significant market in the NBA for combo forwards in his mold who can make an open shot, defend multiple positions and offer some offensive versatility. He's one of the youngest players in this draft, so he still has plenty of room to continue to grow."

10/

10. Philadelphia 76ers (via Los Angeles Lakers) — Mikal Bridges, G/F

School: Villanova

Age: 21

Experts: 8 of 9

Other possibilities: Miles Bridges, F (Michigan State)

Expert quote: From Wasserman: "Turning 22 years old in August, Bridges will be able to contribute immediately with his shooting and defensive versatility. He should be fairly interchangeable at both ends, too."

Expert quote: From NBADraft.net: "Gilgeous-Alexander is a promising point guard who could be a nice building block for a team in a transitional phase. With their current roster, they can't focus on filling needs and instead just adding young talent for the future."

13. Los Angeles Clippers — Robert Williams, PF/C

Expert quote: From USA Today: "Few prospects are as tantalizing as Williams in terms of his athleticism and agility. There's significant value if he can become more consistent."

14/

Denver Nuggets — Miles Bridges, F

School: Michigan State

Age: 20

Experts: 5 of 9

Other possibilities: Zhaire Smith, G (Texas Tech), Kevin Knox

Expert quote: From Givony: "Bridges is a freakish athlete who ... undoubtedly has potential as a two-way forward who can guard all over the floor and give you enough shooting, ballhandling and passing to get by at one of the most important positions in today's NBA."

15/

15. Washington Wizards — Lonnie Walker IV, G

Expert quote: From Woo: "If the Wizards keep this pick and choose not to trade down, they have enough rotation security at present that they can afford to take whichever lottery-level falls to them. Walker's athleticism and potential as a scorer are substantial and tantalizing."

16/

16. Phoenix Suns (via Miami Heat) — Aaron Holiday, PG

Expert quote: From Givony: "Holiday has drawn a huge amount of attention from Phoenix throughout the draft process ... Holiday had an outstanding junior season and he would bring a number of attractive traits to the Suns with his microwave scoring ability, long wingspan and toughness."

17/

17. Milwaukee Bucks — Jerome Robinson, G

Expert quote: From Vecenie: "Robinson has risen to where he'll most likely be a top-20 pick. NBA executives point to terrific interviews and high intelligence as the factors that have pushed him upward, as well as strong workouts in which he's displayed the ability to shoot from all over the floor."

18/

18. San Antonio Spurs — Troy Brown, F

Expert quote: From USA Today: "Wings are always at a premium, and though Brown isn't known as a scorer, it's his multitude of other skills - defensive versatility, rebounding - that could offer value in the NBA."

19/

19. Atlanta Hawks — Zhaire Smith, G

Expert quote: From Woo: "The late teens are feeling like a sweet spot for Smith, a hyper-athletic project in need of serious skill development but with enough of a ceiling to become a starting-caliber player one day."

Expert quote: From Wasserman: "The Timberwolves could target DiVincenzo for offense and energy off the bench. He can offer the microwave scoring and secondary playmaking we saw in the national title game in addition to tough perimeter defense."

21/

21. Utah Jazz — Kevin Huerter, G/F

Expert quote: From Vecenie: "Teams have come away impressed during interviews, which ultimately played a role in them seeing him worthy of a first-round pick. He fits a lot of what Utah looks for in wing prospects, and would make a lot of sense here."

22/

22. Chicago Bulls (via New Orleans Pelicans) — Chandler Hutchison, F

Otto Kitsinger/AP

School: Boise State

Age: 22

Experts: 8 of 9

Other possibilities: Keita Bates-Diop, F (Ohio State)

Expert quote: From Woo: "Hutchison is a developed prospect who should be able to contribute immediately, and a lot of scouts are high on his tools, shooting ability, and capacity to play on and off the ball."

23/

23. Indiana Pacers — Elie Okobo, PG

Expert quote: From Givony: "The smooth guard has good physical tools with the ability to pass out of pick-and-roll sets and make shots with range pulling up off the dribble. His size and length should allow him to play alongside another point guard in the same backcourt, which is attractive in today's NBA."

Expert quote: From Wasserman on Musa: "Musa has been working out for teams after another productive season overseas. The Blazers could use an additional wing scorer, which is exactly what Musa would provide."

25/

25. Los Angeles Lakers (via Cavaliers) — Mitchell Robinson, PF/C

Expert quote: From AldridgeL: "Robinson is an enigma to many, having fallen off the radar nationally after de-committing from Western Kentucky last year and never playing any college ball before declaring for the Draft. But he has had some eye-raising workouts—one for the Lakers—in the last few weeks, displaying the raw ability that made him a McDonald's all-American in high school."

28. Golden State Warriors — Melvin Frazier, F

Expert quote: From Vecenie: "The team badly needs depth on the wing, something that was proven during its latest championship run ... Myers will be familiar with Frazier's skill set and should have interest, as he's tailor-made for the switch-heavy defensive scheme the Warriors run."

Expert quote: From NBADraft.net on Evans: "Evans figures to be one of the best "complimentary" piece types in this draft with his 3-and-D potential. He may take a year or so to be able to extend his range to NBA three, but the potential is there."
